Snake on a bus: Boa constrictor spotted slithering on the floor

A four-foot boa constrictor crawled out of its owner’s pocket on a public bus in Philadelphia Sunday as passengers bolted, officials say.

The owner said he had also carried on the snake’s dinner — a live rat, inside a box.

26-year-old Koron Riley said his snake somehow got loose and coiled itself under a seat. A mechanic was able to dismantle the seat, allowing a transit police officer to retrieve the boa constrictor and return it to Riley.

The owner told Fox 29 his red-tailed Brazilian boa constrictor was non-venomous. He added, “Usually she falls asleep, but I guess she wanted to crawl around.”
